Everything Doug Pederson had to say after the Jaguars loss

Doug Pederson met with the media following the loss to the Browns.

On what he attributes today’s redzone struggles to

Doug: Comes down to awareness, comes down to just execution on the field, comes down to coaching. There's a lot of things I think we can maybe point a finger at. But it's definitely an area that needs to improve.

On the timeouts used in the first half

Doug: Just the situation. The situational awareness. Clock was running down. It can't happen. It just can't happen. Had to take the two timeouts.

On what happened on the safety

Doug: Yeah, we knew what we had to do. We had to go 98 yards obviously. We had a chance to push the ball down the field at that time. It just felt like the pocket collapsed a little bit on his left side. Just nowhere to go with the ball. We’ve just got to clean that stuff up.

On what he meant by saying “the nonsense has to stop” at halftime

Doug: Just execution.

On if the offensive line is good enough to execute the way they need to

Doug: I feel they are, yes.

On how he explains the teams’ performance in the first half

Doug: Yeah, that's something we need to look into and find out why. We have an opportunity to play a football game. We're blessed to coach and play. You should be excited about stepping on the field and giving everything you have. It's a tough sport. It's something I’ve got to try to figure out with the guys and see what's going on.

On how stunned he is with the lack of execution on offense over the last six quarters

Doug: Yeah, I mean, it's not who we are. Guys, coaches, players work too hard during the week. Listen, that's a good defense. A really good defense. Probably one of the best in the league. If there's a measuring stick, then we didn't measure up very well today. Something we’ve got to look at. There's too much talent, I think. There's signs of it, but just not consistent enough.

On what changed that allowed the offense to start getting things going in the fourth quarter

Doug: I don't know. I guess we went a little up-tempo. I think just the tempo really. Just executed with our backs against the wall.

On if he got an explanation from the officials on calls that were made

Doug: No.

On why the team isn’t executing on third down

Doug: We’ve definitely got to look at the film and see why. Third down is an important down. We know they’ve got some great pass-rushers over there. We just didn't do our part. Maybe it's on us as coaches, we didn't help our guys out enough. We’ve just got to look at the tape and figure out why.

On what happened to TE Evan Engram pregame and how much of a loss that was

Doug: Yeah, it was unfortunate. It was during his warm-up prior to pregame. It was right at the time when we put our inactives in. We didn't have an opportunity to make a change. It's no different if he goes down play one. We still have to go out and play.

On if he’s at a loss in figuring out why the team is performing at the level it is

Doug: Well, I'm at a loss because we've been together for a while now, right? We shouldn't be playing the way we're playing. We shouldn't be coaching the way we're coaching. I take accountability there. It starts with me. Then it goes to the assistant coaches and players. I just know that we're a better football team than what we played today.

On if he has to avoid hitting the panic button early

Doug: I don't think you hit the panic button. There's a long season ahead. We’ve got to figure some things out in a hurry. We’ve got to coach some things and do some things. Each person has to look at themselves in the mirror, me included. We've got to do better. It's disappointing. It's disappointing because there's glimpses of greatness out there, but it's not consistent enough.

On how WR Brian Thomas Jr. has adjusted through two game

Doug: I think he's done a nice job. Made a couple big plays the last two games. Has helped us score some points. It's good to see him coming along and doing the things that we've asked of him. You just see his ability to make plays down the field.

On the frustration of losing timeouts in the first half

Doug: Yeah, it's tough.
